Petroleum Fasteners: Their Versatile Applications
Fasteners play a crucial role in the petroleum industry, ensuring the integrity and safety of various equipment and structures. In this article, we will explore the different usage scenarios of petroleum fasteners.
I. Offshore Oil Platforms
Offshore oil platforms are exposed to harsh marine environments. Fasteners are used to connect different components of the platform, such as the platform structure itself and the riser clamps. During the winter ice period in the Bohai Liaodong Bay sea area, the platform is impacted by sea ice. This can cause bolt fasteners used to connect the platform and riser clamps to become loose or even lost. The application of lock washers has been proven to be an effective solution to this problem. Lock washers can prevent the loosening of bolt fasteners and play an active role in preventing oil spills and natural gas leaks on offshore oil platforms.
II. Refining Installations
In refining installations, fasteners are essential for ensuring the safe operation of equipment and pipelines. The corrosion of fasteners in flange joints of equipment and pipelines cannot be ignored. The anti-corrosion of fasteners should be controlled from aspects such as relevant standards, equipment and pipeline design, manufacturing and installation, and usage management to ensure the intrinsic safety of refining installations.
III. Underwater Oil and Gas Fields
Underwater oil and gas fields have strict requirements for the functionality, pressure resistance, and sealing performance of related equipment due to their low sea level. At the same time, as the equipment is basically in water, it must also have high-strength waterproof and anti-corrosion functions. Fasteners in underwater oil and gas fields need to have appropriate strength and resistance to corrosion and environmentally assisted cracking. Not only is proper material selection important, but also proper material processing to ensure the suitability of fasteners for the intended subsea service environment. As the oil and gas industry shifts its attention to exploring and developing reservoirs in deeper waters where the cost of operation and intervention is very high, the prevention of failures due to hydrogen embrittlement under conditions of cathodic protection becomes increasingly crucial.
IV. Coatings for Fasteners in Offshore Oil and Gas Fields
The coatings on fasteners in offshore oil and gas fields are also of great significance. The composition, application status, and improvement methods of waterproof and anti-corrosion coatings on fasteners are important research topics. These coatings can enhance the durability and reliability of fasteners in harsh marine environments.
In conclusion, petroleum fasteners have a wide range of applications in offshore oil platforms, refining installations, underwater oil and gas fields, and coatings for fasteners. Their proper selection and application are crucial for ensuring the safety and efficiency of the petroleum industry.
